two hours. On the way home from
church his wife appeared to be ia fear
OF something and urged him to hurry
up. He asked her what allied her, and
she told him in a trembling voice that
his queer talk had made the minister
think him bewitched. and she feared he
would be burned or drowned.

Then Mrs. B!ewitt reminded him
that in New England several had thus

the chair had tipped too far back, and
he was in a heap on the floor with his

in Mrs. Blewitt's work basket. He
heard the rattling yet, and he looked
out OF the window to discover it's
source, and saw that the boys had
started the reaper in the field OF
wheat. One OF the girls had Just driv-

a Tussle With a Burglar.

Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
Ayoung married lady whose face is
familiar at the hospitals, charitable
institutions, and the various art
rooms and picture galleries had, not
long since, a singular experience. Her
bedroom had large bay window front
and two ordinary windows on one
side Of the room. ltwas warm night
being absent she took the extra pre-
caution OF fastening the blinds Of the
long front windows by placing against
them carpet hassock. On retiring
she at once fell asleep. but found her
self suddenly aroused and in an in
slant wide awake. Wondering
what had awakened her she sat up in
bed and noticed the blinds were push
ed apart and that it was enrly dawn.
She said audibly, as if to herself
"Why, I am sure / fastened those.
blinds!" and making up her mind to
fasten them and have another nap.
put her feet out OF bed, but instead of
touching the floor they rested on 8
mans stomach! Although thorough
ly frightened. while feeling the quick
beating Of q heart beneath herfeet,shes
thought out what was best to do. A
chiffonier stood near by and with a
single step she reached it, opened a
drawer and took therefrom a little
revolyer-lately won in a bet-wbich
had never been loaded. She cooked it
and for the first time looked at her
intruder. He was q colored man.
She being born and bred at the South,
was as indignant at the fact as
she was afraid. Pointing the
pistol at him, she said: SECT up, you
Niger, and go out as you came in!
How dare you enter q lady's room in
this way?" He moved toward the
window, she pointing the pistol to-
ward him all the time, when her in.
dlnation increasing, she ordered him
to ..sit down. As he obeyed he put
his hand behind him, and she, fearing
a razor might be Forthcoming, said:
"Your hand to the front, or I'll blow
your black head off, She then gave
him a bit Of advice and ordered him
"out OF the window"
Feeling nervously unstrung by this
time, she opened the door to go to
her mothers apartment, when 10 and
behold! there stood another darkey!
This was the "last straw" and yield
ing to q womanly impulse, she
screamed s'Murderl murder!', which
brought her family and servants to
the hall, and number two" made a
hasty exit through the lady's room
and out OF the open window. Valu-
able jewels and clothing were found
in q bundle under the bed, but the
rascals had taken nothing from the
house with them.

Jenny Lind's Romance.

From an Exchange.
Jenny Lind's husband, Otto Gold
schmidt, though he is quite bald, is
fifteen years yourger than his wife.
The story of their marriage is a ro-
mantle one and little known. During
her travels through America, Sir
Julius Benedict, hsr accompanist, was
obliged suddenly 80 return to Eng
land, and then sne remembered q
poor young German musicals she had
met the year before. and sent foz him
at once to supply Sir julius place.
1t was not long before the young
musician was violently in Iowa with
the prirna donna, but, being poor and
unknown, and so much her junior, he
had no hope of any success. Finally
he became 50 unhappy he resigned his
place. and being pressed by the cam
tatrice to tell the reason for such q
step, he confessed his hopeless love,
and was astonished and delighted
when she fell into his arms and de-
clared she had loved him from the
first. They have been extremely
happy together, and now people
scarcely guess that she is the Oldest
of the two.

MY. BIRTHPLACE.

All. how the silent memories Of years
Are stirring In my spirit. I have been
5A lone and ioyless wanderer. I have roam

Abroad through other climes, where trop-
lc foWers
We're Offering up their incense, incense, and the
Swimming like living creatures; I have
Where the soft skies OF Italy were hung
IN beautiful transp arency above.
And glory floating like a lovely dream
Ger the rich lands ape; yet fancy still,
s Mid all the ruder glow OF brighter realms,
OFT turned to picture the remembered
home.
That bless It's earliest day-dreams. Must
Forth in the world again! I've proved its
Joys,
Till Joy was turned to bitterness We felt
4 Its sorrows till I thought my heart would
burst tig
With the fierce rush OF tears The sorrow
ing babe
Clings to its mothers breast. The bleed
ing dove
Flies to her native vale, and nestles there
To die amid the quiet grove, where first
She tried her tender pinion. I could love
Thus to repose amid these peaceful scenes
To memory dear. Oh, it We're passing
sweet %s
TO rest forever on this lovely spot,
Where passed my days OF innocence: to
dream e.
OF the pure stream, OF infant happiness
Sunk in lifes wild and burning sands, to
dwell @
On visions faded till my broken heart
Should cease to throh, to purify my soul
With high and holy ,nusings. and to lift
It's aspirations to the central home
OF love and peace and holiness in heaven.
